Sure there is. You can use "-net user -net nic" and some "-redir ....." rules
or you can use the tun/tap stuff (be sure it's the modified version from
the japan site, not blastwave) and start qemu "-net tap -net nic".

how are you starting qemu? if you're using tap, you need to start
qemu with "-net tap -net nic". What does your /etc/qemu-ifup script
look like?

I tend to just use usernet and redir with ssh since that's all I usually
need to get into a guest. If you need more ports, then I guess it's
a tossup between writing redir rules and tun/tap.

zone and tap isn't going to work. AFAIK, you can't use a loadable module
in a zone, so you may as well figure out how to do it with the user-net and
redir rules.

Never heard of it.
